So basically my question is there a way to preserve the formatting through conversion without having to go through the file manually and fix it?

I assume that since you have converted it, that this PDF is not DRM'd. One thing that I use that I've not seen anywhere on these threads is my word processor, Word Perfect, reads PDF's into it's format. I know you didn't want to go through file manipulation, but my experience has Word Perfect converting the file excellently. Though I've only done chapter by chapter pdfs. Then it shouldn't be too hard to go back through Caliber.
